rhe Political Situation
lynn Meeting Young Adherents McKnight Plans o End Campaign Have Pow Wow Explained
Kay Young
It is with a great deal of appreciation and gratitude that I acknowledge the loyalty of my friends who have supported my campaign.
I would be very grateful for the opportunity to serve the members of the student body as their secretary. I feel my past experience as secretary of the YWCA and secre-
dom of opportunity for all students, regardless of who wins,” declared McKnight in his campaign meeting last night.
While no reform movement is assured of success, the fact that it recognizes the need of reform renders it preferable to complacency and apathy. Bob McKnight would not be in the race if he had not the burning conviction that clandestine political maneuvering militates against the general Welfare of the university, both scholastically and socially.
The reorganization program begun on this campus during the past year must be extended and consolidated. McKnight’s disillusionment with machine methods and the personal discouragement he has suffered repeatedly at its hands have only deepened his determination to carry out a program of reform. His persistency and success in the face of enmity and criticism from the ranks of the sub-rosa political strategists have won him the admiration of intelligent Trojans.
McKnight is running on the following platform:
1. Opposition to sub-rosa political combines.
2. Appointments and honors on the basis of ability and service and not upon political patronage.
3. Revision and amendment of the ASUSC constitution and replacement of functional representation by proportional representation.
4. Put El Rodeo on cost basis with greater representation of studpnts in the yearbook.
5. Closer coordination of all schools in the university.
6. Higher scholastic standards and greater student self-expression.

When I accepted the nomination for vice-president of the associated students. I realized the responsibilities that this office entailed. Having been so fortunate as to be unapposed in this race .as yet, I have given much additional thought to the activities of the office.

As a candidate for the position of secretary of the associated students. I am fully aware of the responsibilities entailed in the performance of the duties of that office. I realize that it is no position in which any revolutionary reforms can be ascribed to by an aspiring candidate, therefore I promise to the student body just one thing: that, if elected, I will faithfully and sincerely perform the duties of my office as efficiently and conscientiously as my ability permits. I also promise to adhere to the principles of that man chosen to preside over the student body.

Sudeten Germans Win Plurality In Parliament
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, March 22—<U.P)—Tne Nazi Sudeten Germans under Konrad Henlein, who is called the “Czechoslovakian Hitler,” became the dominant party in parliament tonight when the Agrarian league withdrew from the government.
The German Agrarians, one of the smaller German minority parties which had supported President Edouard Benes in his efforts to resist Fuehrer Adolf Hitler’s “Nazi-fication of Czechoslovakia.” withdrew from the cabinet and merged with Henlein’s Sudeten German party.
SURPRISE MOVE
The surprise move, hailed by Nazis as bringing nearer a German fulfillment of Bismarck’s 50 year-old theory that “the master of Bohemia is the master of Europe,” gave Henlein 49 deputies in the lower chamber of parliament.
The Czechoslovakian Agrarians are relegated to second position in parliamentary strength, but remain the country’s most powerful political union.
INVASION FROM WITHIN
Observers believed that the merger of the Agrarians and Sudetens, following the government’s decision four days ago to give to the 3,231,-688 members of the German minority a proportionate share in local and national governmental administrations, marked simply another step in Germany’s “invasion from within” to gain domination.
“For all difficulties which might arise between the Reich and Czechoslovakia there is a treaty of arbitration signed on October 16. 1925. whereby the two nations agree to submit any differences to the Hague court or to mixed commissions of conciliation or arbitration. RESISTANCE PLEDGED “France signed that treaty as a guarantor of its execution and we are convinced that France, which has renounced any engagement touching her honor, will not fail on her signature.
“Czechoslovakia never will allow herself to be invaded Without resisting by the full force of her arms.” •

Hebrew Prayers To Be Chanted At Assembly
Old Hebrew7 prayers, as they have been given for centuries, will be chanted by Paul Lankoff, Cantor of the Community synagogue, this morning at the all-university religious assembly in Bovard auditorium, according to Dr. Carl Sumner Knopf, dean of the School of Religion.
Dr. Knopf has invited Mr. Lankoff, who is also a composer and musical director for Warner Brothers studios, to participate in the last religious assembly before the spring recess because of the relationship between Chris{ian Easter and Jewish Passover.
“Many people forget that these spring religious festivals are in a way related, and that Jew and Gentile, Catholic and Protestant can unite in a common hope,” said Dr. Knopf in explaining the theme of the assembly.
Dr. Knopf will read part of the Christian Easter service and will recite a selection from the Jewish service in Hebrew. He will also speak briefly on the subject, “Easter and Passover—Sentiment and Sanity?”
The assembly is scheduled for 9:55 a.m.

lynn Meeting Young Adherents McKnight Plans o End Campaign Have Pow Wow Explained
Kay Young
It is with a great deal of appreciation and gratitude that I acknowledge the loyalty of my friends who have supported my campaign.
I would be very grateful for the opportunity to serve the members of the student body as their secretary. I feel my past experience as secretary of the YWCA and secre-
dom of opportunity for all students, regardless of who wins,” declared McKnight in his campaign meeting last night.
While no reform movement is assured of success, the fact that it recognizes the need of reform renders it preferable to complacency and apathy. Bob McKnight would not be in the race if he had not the burning conviction that clandestine political maneuvering militates against the general Welfare of the university, both scholastically and socially.
The reorganization program begun on this campus during the past year must be extended and consolidated. McKnight’s disillusionment with machine methods and the personal discouragement he has suffered repeatedly at its hands have only deepened his determination to carry out a program of reform. His persistency and success in the face of enmity and criticism from the ranks of the sub-rosa political strategists have won him the admiration of intelligent Trojans.
McKnight is running on the following platform:
1. Opposition to sub-rosa political combines.
2. Appointments and honors on the basis of ability and service and not upon political patronage.
3. Revision and amendment of the ASUSC constitution and replacement of functional representation by proportional representation.
4. Put El Rodeo on cost basis with greater representation of studpnts in the yearbook.
5. Closer coordination of all schools in the university.
6. Higher scholastic standards and greater student self-expression.

Having been so fortunate as to be unapposed in this race .as yet, I have given much additional thought to the activities of the office. For the past year, the position has been most ably filled by Carolyn Everington. and if I represent the students in this capacity next year.

As a candidate for the position of secretary of the associated students. I am fully aware of the responsibilities entailed in the performance of the duties of that office. I realize that it is no position in which any revolutionary reforms can be ascribed to by an aspiring candidate, therefore I promise to the student body just one thing: that, if elected, I will faithfully and sincerely perform the duties of my office as efficiently and conscientiously as my ability permits. I also promise to adhere to the principles of that man chosen to preside over the student body.
